Mexico has had its share of talk about Trump as well since then.

Trump also said he would make legally coming into the USA more hard, to make sure the country was accepting only those “that we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish and love us”.
– “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best”. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.
Revisiting the payment issue was just one aspect of the America-first attitude of Trump, who said: “There is only one core issue in the immigration debate, and that issue is the well-being of the American people”.
Robert Soria, who is retired, said: “I’m glad Donald Trump came to Arizona, because now he’s exposed these bigoted supporters he has, these people who were afraid to come out have now come out and feel like he represents their values, people overseas need to know this”. “I have many successful business relationships with Mexican companies and employ and am close friends with many Mexican people”.
He has pledged to renegotiate or scrap the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) trade deal between the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Donald Trump is struggling to get his story straight on his infamous pledge to build a wall in Mexico.
– “I would build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively”. Nieto later tweeted that he made it clear during their discussion that Mexico would not be paying.
The head of a group of U.S. Republicans in Mexico, Larry Rubin, said Trump would spend about 90 minutes in Mexico City and meet Pena Nieto at the Los Pinos presidential residence.
In the press conference, Trump said he did not discuss with Pena Nieto which country would pay for the wall.
Former Mexican President Vicente Fox bluntly told the celebrity businessman that, despite Pena Nieto’s hospitality, he was not welcome.
“USA paid them $3 billion”, Trump tweeted about the escape of the biggest Mexican drug lord. Trump tweeted. June 2015.
Payan hypothesized that Pena Nieto had little good news to give in his state-of-the-nation address scheduled for Thursday and was looking for a distraction with the “ill-advised” meeting.
– “The closeness between the U.S. and Mexico is more than a relationship between two governments”, Peña Nieto said during a visit to the USA, saying he would work with anyone elected.
Trump is trailing Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in opinion polls for the November 8 election.
Trump told the rowdy Arizona crowd that he respects the Mexican president.
– “He’s proud of his heritage”.
Also promised on the border: an “impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, handsome southern border wall”, bolstered by technology and paid for by Mexico.
– “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel”, Pope Francis told journalists during a visit to Mexico when asked about Trump’s immigration positions. I think they probably talked about, ‘Isn’t it awful that Mr. Trump wants to have border security, ‘ et cetera, et cetera. But it also takes him to a country where he is widely disliked because of harsh comments he has made during his White House campaign.
– “Mr. @realDonaldTrump although you’ve been invited you are not welcomed”.
“Instead of making him apologise, the government allowed [Trump] to complete the humiliation of the Mexicans”, Ricardo Anaya, leader of the center-right opposition National Action Party, said on Twitter.
– “He is not welcome to Mexico by 130 million people”. We don’t like him, We don’t want him.
